Abstract
Four trinucleotides 5'-ATA-3' (I), 5'-ATC-3' (II), 5'-CTA-3' (III) and 5'-CTC-3' (IV) were introduced to interact with a diazido-based photoactivatable anticancer prodrug trans,trans,trans-[PtIV(N3)2(OH)2(py)2] (py = pyridine; 1) upon light irradiation. Using electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), we aimed to investigate the possibility of 1,3-intrastrand crosslinks at adenine and/or cytosine in the trinucleotides via the bi-functional trans-[PtII(py)2]2+ species generated by photodecomposition of complex 1. The primary mass spectrometry results showed that although mono- and di-platinated trinucleotides bound by mono-functional trans-[PtII(N3)(py)2]+ species were the major platinated adducts, comparable amounts of bifunctional trans-[PtII(py)2]2+-bound trinucleotides were also observed. Further tandem mass spectrometry of the trans-[PtII(py)2]2+-bound trinucleotides showed the formation of 1,3-crosslinks between adenine-adenine, adenine-cytosine and cytosine-cytosine bases in the trinucleotides. The formation of such unique structures is not only distinct from the action modes of cisplatin with DNA but also an important complement to the acknowledged 1,3-GNG intrastrand crosslink by trans-Pt species, which may support the promising and distinct anticancer activities of such photoactivatable diazido Pt(IV) anticancer prodrugs and deserve further studies.

Abstract
Cisplatin-derived platinum(II) complexes [Pt(NH3 )2 (pacac)](NO3 ) (1, DPP-Pt) and [Pt(NH3 )2 (Acac-RB)](NO3 ) (2, Acacplatin-RB), where Hpacac is 1,3-diphenyl-1,3-propanedione and HAcac-RB is a red-light active distyryl-BODIPY-appended acetylacetone ligand, are prepared, characterized and their photodynamic therapy (PDT) activity studied (RB abbreviated for red-light BODIPY). Complex 2 displayed an intense absorption band at λ=652 nm (ϵ=7.3×104 M-1 cm-1 ) and 601 nm (ϵ=3.1×104 M-1 cm-1 ) in 1 : 1 DMSO-DPBS (Dulbecco's Phosphate Buffered Saline). Its emission profile includes a broad maximum at ~673 nm (λex =630 nm). The fluorescence quantum yield (ΦF ) of HAcac-RB and 2 are 0.19 and 0.07, respectively. Dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate and 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran assay of complex 2 indicated photogeneration of singlet oxygen (ΦΔ : 0.36) as reactive oxygen species (ROS). Light irradiation caused only minor extent of ligand release forming chemo-active cisplatin analogue. The complex showed ~70-100 fold enhancement in cytotoxicity on light exposure in A549 lung cancer cells and MDA-MB-231 multidrug resistant breast cancer cells, giving half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50 ) of 0.9-1.8 μM. Confocal imaging showed its mitochondrial localization and complex 2 exhibited anti-metastasis properties. Immunostaining of β-tubulin and Annexin V-FITC/propidium iodide staining displayed complex 2 induced photo-selective microtubule rupture and cellular apoptosis, respectively.

Abstract
CpG and its cytosine-methylated counterpart (5mCpG) are a unique reversible pair of sequences in regulating the expression of genes epigenetically. As DNA is the potential target of Pt-based anticancer metallodrugs, herein, we comparatively investigate the interactions of 5'-CpG and 5'-5mCpG with a photoactivatable anticancer Pt(IV) prodrug, trans,trans,trans-[PtIV(N3)2(OH)2(py)2] (1; py = pyridine), to explore the effects of methylation on the platination and ROS-induced oxidation of the CpG motif. Mono-platinated dinucleotides were demonstrated by ESI-MS to be the main products for both 5'-CpG and 5'-5mCpG with the bound Pt moiety as [PtII(N3)(py)2] generated by the photodecomposition of complex 1 under irradiation with blue light, accompanied by the formation of less abundant di-platinated adducts. G-N7 and C-N3/5mC-N3 were shown to be the major and minor platination sites, respectively, with G-N1 as the third and weakest platination site, in particular, in di-platinated products. Moreover, platinated dinucleotides associated with guanine and/or cytosine oxidation were also observed. Apart from 8-oxo-guanine (oxG) and N-formylamidoiminohydantoin (RedSp) reported previously, novel oxidation adducts 5-guanidinohydantoin (Gh) derived from guanine and 1-carbamoyl-4,5-dihydroxy-2-oxoimidazolidine (ImidCyt) derived from cytosine in CpG, and diimino imidazole (DIz) and 2,5-diaminoimidazol-4-one (imidazolone, Iz) derived from guanine and Imid5mCyt derived from 5mC in 5mCpG were proposed according to MS information. These results showed that methylation exerted little effects on the platination modes of CpG, but triggered distinct oxidation pathways of CpG, perhaps causing discriminated DNA damage to CpG-rich genes. This work provides novel insights into the role of the anticancer photoactivatable Pt(IV) prodrug through damaging the epigenetically modified DNA sequences.

Abstract
Photoactivatable Pt(IV) anticancer prodrugs with the structure of [PtIV(N1)(N2)(L1)(L2)(A1)(A2)], where N1 and N2 are non-leaving nitrogen donor ligands, L1 and L2 are leaving ligands, and A1 and A2 are axial ligands, have attracted increasing attention due to their promising photo-cytotoxicity even to cisplatin-resistant cancer cells. These photochemotherapeutic prodrugs have high dark-stability under physiological conditions, while they can be activated by visible light restrained at the disease areas, as a consequence showing higher spatial and temporal controllability and much more safety than conventional chemotherapy. The coordinated ligands to the Pt center have been proved to be pivotal in determining the function and activity of the photoactivatable Pt(IV) prodrugs. In this review, we will focus on the development of the coordinated ligands in such Pt(IV) prodrugs and discuss the effects of diverse ligands on their photochemistry and photoactivity as well as the future evolution directions of the ligands. We hope this review can help to facilitate the design and development of novel photoactivatable Pt(IV) anticancer prodrugs.

Abstract
The development of PtIV prodrugs which are selectively reduced within cancerous cells into their PtII therapeutically active species has received increasing attention within the last decade. Despite recent research progress, the majority of investigated compounds are excited using ultraviolet or blue light. As the light penetration depth is low at these wavelengths, the treatment of deep-seated or large tumors is limited. To overcome this limitation, herein, the example of PtIV -functionalized nanoparticles that could be excited within the NIR region at 808 nm is reported. The polymer backbone which can self-assemble into nanoparticles was functionalized with PtIV complexes for chemotherapy, photosensitizers for photodynamic immunotherapy, and nucleus/cancer-targeting peptides. Upon irradiation, the PtIV center is reduced to PtII and the axially coordinated ligands are released, presenting a multimodal treatment. While selectively accumulating in tumorous tissue, the nanoparticles demonstrated the ability to eradicate a triple-negative breast cancer tumor inside a mouse model.

Abstract
The Pt(IV) prodrug trans, trans, trans-[Pt(pyridine)2(N3)2(OH)2] (Pt1) and its coumarin derivative trans, trans, trans-[Pt(pyridine)2(N3)2(OH)(coumarin-3-carboxylate)] (Pt2) are promising agents for photoactivated chemotherapy. These complexes are inert in the dark but release Pt(II) species and radicals upon visible light irradiation, resulting in photocytotoxicity toward cancer cells. Here, we have used synchrotron techniques to investigate the in-cell behavior of these prodrugs and visualize, for the first time, changes in cellular morphology and Pt localization upon treatment with and without light irradiation. We show that photoactivation of Pt2 induces remarkable cellular damage with extreme alterations to multiple cellular components, including formation of vacuoles, while also significantly increasing the cellular accumulation of Pt species compared to dark conditions. X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) measurements in cells treated with Pt2 indicate only partial reduction of the prodrug upon irradiation, highlighting that phototoxicity in cancer cells may involve not only Pt(II) photoproducts but also photoexcited Pt(IV) species.

Abstract
Understanding binding site preferences in biological systems as well as affinities to binding partners is a crucial aspect in metallodrug development. We here present a mass spectrometry‐based method to compare relative stabilities of metal‐peptide adducts in the gas phase. Angiotensin 1 and substance P were used as model peptides. Incubation with isostructural N‐heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes of RuII, OsII, RhIII, and IrIII led to the formation of various adducts, which were subsequently studied by energy‐resolved fragmentation experiments. The gas‐phase stability of the metal‐peptide bonds depended on the metal and the binding partner. Of the four complexes used, the OsII derivative bound strongest to Met, while RuII formed the most stable coordination bond with His. RhIII was identified as the weakest peptide binder and IrIII formed peptide adducts with intermediate stability. Probing these intrinsic gas‐phase properties can help in the interpretation of biological activities and the design of site‐specific protein binding metal complexes.

Abstract
Platinum based anticancer agents are widely applied in clinic and their major target is believed to be DNA. Herein, the interaction of a photoactivatable diazido Pt(iv) anticancer prodrug trans,trans,trans-[Pt(N3)2(OH)2(py)2] (py = pyridine; 1) with a 15-mer single-G-containing oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN I: 5'-CT2CTCTTG8T9CT11TCTC-3') was investigated by mass spectrometric methods. Up to penta-platinated ODN I adducts were identified from primary mass spectra while the mono- and di-platinated adducts had the highest intensity. Fragmentation of mono-, di- and tri-platinated I adducts in tandem MS revealed that T2, G8, T11 and T9 are binding sites. No cytosine sites were identified which may be due to the facile loss of Pt adducts from cytosine during CID. The intensity of {Pt(py)2}-bound adducts was comparable to that of {Pt(N3)(py)2}-bound adducts, indicating that the photo-reduction pathway of complex 1 from Pt(iv) to Pt(ii) through two one-electron donations from two azides was substantial. Moreover, no transformation of N3 to NH3 on the {Pt(N3)(py)2}-bound adducts was observed, whereas it is very popular during the reactions of complexes with short ODNs or mono-nucleotides. The oxidation on I induced by the reactive oxygen species (ROS) formed by the photodecomposition of complex 1 was significant, and the oxidation of G8 to 8-hydroxyguanine (8-OH-G), spiroiminodihydantoin (Sp) and 2,6-diamino-4-hydroxy-5-formamidopyrimidine (FapyG) was discovered. These results unambiguously revealed a sequence-length-dependent photochemical reactivity of complex 1 when it interacted with different ODNs, providing deeper understanding in the reactivity of photoactivatable diazido anticancer Pt(iv) prodrugs to DNA.

Abstract
Iron(III)-phenolate/carboxylate complexes exhibiting photoredox chemistry and photoactivated reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation at their ligand-to-metal charge-transfer (LMCT) bands have emerged as potential strategic tools for photoactivated chemotherapy. Herein, the synthesis, in-depth characterization, photochemical assays, and remarkable red light-induced photocytotoxicities in adenocarcinomic human immortalized human keratinocytes (HaCaT) and alveolar basal epithelial (A549) cells of iron(III)-phenolate/carboxylate complex of molecular formula, [Fe(L1)(L2)] (1), where L1 is bis(3,5 di-tert-butyl-2-hydroxybenzyl)glycine and L2 is 5-(1,2-dithiolan-3-yl)-N-(1,10-phenanthroline-5-yl)pentanamide, and the gold nanocomposite functionalized with complex 1 (1-AuNPs) are reported. There was a significant red shift in the UV-visible absorption band on functionalization of complex 1 to the gold nanoparticles (λmax: 573 nm, 1; λmax: 660 nm, 1-AuNPs), rendering the nanocomposite an ideal candidate for photochemotherapeutic applications. The notable findings in our present studies are (i) the remarkable cytotoxicity of the nanocomposite (1-AuNPs) to A549 (IC50: 0.006 μM) and HaCaT (IC50: 0.0075 μM) cells in red light (600-720 nm, 30 J/cm2) while almost nontoxic (IC50 > 500 μg/mL, 0.053 μM) in the dark, (ii) the nontoxicity of 1-AuNPs to normal human diploid fibroblasts (WI-38) or human peripheral lung epithelial (HPL1D) cells (IC50 > 500 μg/mL, 0.053 μM) both in the dark and red light signifying the target-specific anticancer activity of the nanocomposite, (iii) localization of 1-AuNPs in mitochondria and partly nucleus, (iv) remarkable red light-induced generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS: 1O2, •OH) in vitro, (v) disruption of the mitochondrial membrane due to enhanced oxidative stress, and (vi) caspase 3/7-dependent apoptosis. A similar cytotoxic profile of complex 1 was another key finding of our studies. Overall, our current investigations show a new red light-absorbing iron(III)-phenolate/carboxylate complex-functionalized gold nanocomposite (1-AuNPs) as the emerging next-generation iron-based photochemotherapeutic agent for targeted cancer treatment modality.

Abstract
Photoactivatable diazidodihydroxido Pt(iv) complex trans,trans,trans-[Pt(N3)2(OH)2(py)2] (1; py = pyridine) is a promising anticancer agent which can be activated by visible light to induce cancer cell death. DNA has been thought to be involved in the mechanism of action of this kind of Pt(iv) prodrug. However, the detailed photodecomposition pathways of complex 1 and its interaction modes with DNA are complex. Herein we report that upon light irradiation complex 1 can bind to all four nucleosides covalently with the reduced Pt(ii) species. Moreover, apart from the covalent coordination, various oxidation adducts of these four nucleosides induced by the reactive oxidative species (ROS) generated during the photoactivation of the complex 1 have also been identified, especially the induced oxidation of adenosine and cytidine which was firstly reported for this kind of photoactivatable Pt(iv) prodrug. Such dual-action may contribute to the highly potent photo-antiproliferativity of complex 1 towards cancer cells, which may account for the unique mechanism of action of the photoactivatable diazido Pt(iv) anticancer complexes.

Abstract
The photochemical products of dinucleotides 5'-TpG/5'-GpT with a photoactivatable anticancer Pt(IV) complex (trans,trans,trans-[Pt(N3)2(OH)2(py)2], py = pyridine; 1) were characterized by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. The primary MS showed the main products were monoplatinated and diplatinated adducts for both the dinucleotides accompanied by the formation of minor triplatinated dinucleotides, indicating that T-N3 and G-N1 may be platination sites additional to the well-known G-N7 site. Surprisingly, a series of minor platinated adducts with oxidation of guanine and/or thymine were observed. Although guanine is more sensitive to oxidation than thymine, thymine can compete with guanine for complex 1-induced oxidation, of which the oxidation adducts were identified as cis- and trans-diastereomers of 5,6-dihydroxy-5,6-dihydrothymidine (cis,trans-ThdGly), 5-formyl-2'-deoxyuridine (5-FormdUrd), and 5-(hydroxymethyl)-2'-deoxyuridine (5-HMdUrd), respectively. While for guanine, apart from 8-hydroxyguanine (8-OH-G) and N-formylamidoiminohydantoin (RedSp), other guanine oxidized adducts such as spiroiminodihydantoin (Sp), dehydroguanidinohydantoin (DGh), and 2,6-diamino-4-hydroxy-5-formamidopyrimidine (FapyG) were also identified. MS/MS analysis showed that unique fragments with a Pt moiety [Pt(N3)(py)] cross-linking the G and T bases were formed during the fragmentation of monoplatinated dinucleotides. Such binding mode to and oxidative damages on DNA bases imposed by the diazido Pt(IV) complex are apparently distinct from those of cisplatin, perhaps accounting for its unique mechanism of action.

Abstract
PtII complexes are commonly used to treat cancer. To reduce their side effects and improve their pharmacological properties, PtIV complexes are being developed as prodrug candidates that are activated by reduction in cancer cells. Concomitantly, RuII polypyridine complexes have gained much attention as photosensitizers for use in photodynamic therapy due to their attractive characteristics. In this article, a novel PtIV -RuII conjugate, which combines cancer activated chemotherapy with PDT, is presented. Upon entering the cancer cell, the PtIV centre is reduced to PtII and the axial ligands including the RuII complex and phenylbutyrate are released. As each component has its individual targets, the conjugate exerts a multi-target and multi-action effect with (photo-)cytotoxicity values upon irradiation up to 595 nm in the low nanomolar range in various (drug resistant) 2D monolayer cancer cells and 3D multicellular tumour spheroids.

Abstract
The OsII arene anticancer complex [(η6-bip)Os(en)Cl]+ (Os1-Cl; where bip = biphenyl and en = ethylenediamine) binds strongly to DNA1 and biomolecules. Here we investigate the interaction between Os1-Cl and the model protein, BSA, using ultrahigh resolution Fourier transform-ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR MS). The specific binding location of Os1 on BSA was investigated with the use of collisionally activated dissociation (CAD) and electron capture dissociation (ECD). CAD MS/MS was found to dissociate the osmium complex from the metallo-peptide complex readily producing unmodified fragments and losing location information. ECD MS/MS, however, successfully retains the osmium modification on the peptides upon fragmentation allowing localization of metallocomplex binding. This study reveals that lysine is a possible binding location for Os1-Cl, apart from the expected binding sites at methionine, histidine, and cysteine. Using a nano liquid chromatography (nLC)-FT-ICR ECD MS/MS study, multiple binding locations, including the N-terminus and C-terminus of digested peptides, glutamic acid, and lysine were also revealed. These results show the multitargeting binding ability of the organo-osmium compound and can be used as a standard workflow for more complex systems, e.g., metallocomplex-cell MS analysis, to evaluate their behavior toward commonly encountered biomolecules.

Abstract
In this Minireview, we highlight recent advances in the design of transition metal complexes for photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photoactivated chemotherapy (PACT), and discuss the challenges and opportunities for the translation of such agents into clinical use. New designs for light-activated transition metal complexes offer photoactivatable prodrugs with novel targeted mechanisms of action. Light irradiation can provide spatial and temporal control of drug activation, increasing selectivity and reducing side-effects. The photophysical and photochemical properties of transition metal complexes can be controlled by the appropriate choice of the metal, its oxidation state, the number and types of ligands, and the coordination geometry.

Abstract
The platinum(IV) prodrug trans,trans,trans-[Pt(N3)2(OH)2(py)2] (1) is stable and non-toxic in the dark, but potently cytotoxic to cancer cells when irradiated by visible light, including cisplatin-resistant cells. On irradiation with visible light, it generates reactive Pt(II) species which can attack DNA, and produces reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) which exert unusual effects on biochemical pathways. We now show that its novel mechanism of action includes induction of immunogenic cell death (ICD). Treatment of cancer cells with 1 followed by photoirradiation with visible light induces calreticulin (CRT) expression at the surface of dying cancer cells. This is accompanied by release of high mobility group protein-1B (HMGB1) and the secretion of ATP. Autophagy appears to play a key role in this chemotherapeutically-stimulated ICD. The observed uneven distribution of ecto-CRT promotes phagocytosis, confirmed by the observation of engulfment of photoirradiated CT26 colorectal cancer cells treated with 1 by J774.A1 macrophages. The photoactivatable prodrug 1 has a unique mechanism of action which distinguishes it from other platinum drugs due to its immunomodulating properties, which may enhance its anticancer efficacy.

Abstract
Kinetically inert platinum(IV) complexes are receiving growing attention as promising candidates in the effort to develop safe and valid alternatives to classical square-planar Pt(II) complexes currently used in antineoplastic therapy. Their antiproliferative activity requires intracellular Pt(IV)-Pt(II) reduction (activation by reduction). In the present work, a set of five Pt(IV) complexes has been assayed using mass spectrometry-based techniques, i.e., collision-induced dissociation (CID), and IR multiple photon dissociation (IRMPD) spectroscopy, together with ab initio theoretical investigations. Breakdown and reduction mechanisms are observed that lead to Pt(II) species. Evidence is found for typically transient Pt(III) intermediates along the dissociation paths of isolated, negatively charged (electron-rich) Pt(IV) prodrug complexes.

Abstract
Simultaneous isolation of ions of disparate mass-to-charge (m/z) ratios is demonstrated via appropriately timed pulsing of entrance and exit ion mirrors in an electrostatic linear ion trap (ELIT) mass spectrometer. Manipulation of the voltages of the entrance and exit mirrors, referred to as "mirror switching", has been demonstrated as a method in which ions can be both captured and isolated. High resolution isolation (>35 000) was previously demonstrated by selective gating of trapping electrodes to avoid ion lapping while closely spaced ions could continue to separate [ Johnson et al. Anal. Chem. 2019 , 91 , 8789 ]. In this work, we demonstrate that advantage can be taken of the ion lapping phenomenon in an ELIT to enable the simultaneous isolation of ions of disparate m/z ratios using mirror switching. This process is demonstrated with minimal ion loss using isotopologues of three carborane compounds ranging in m/z from 320 to 1020. Simultaneous isolation is demonstrated with the isolation of two and three peaks in separate isotopic distributions as well as with the isolation of alternating isotopologues within the same distribution. Such simultaneous isolation experiments are particularly useful when conducting experiments in which a mass calibrant is needed or when multiplexing in a tandem MS workflow.

Metal Ion Binding to the Amyloid β Monomer Studied by Native Top-Down FTICR Mass Spectrometry. JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR MASS SPECTROMETRY 2019; 30:2123-2134. [PMID: 31350722 PMCID: PMC6805827 DOI: 10.1007/s13361-019-02283-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 43] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/10/2019] [Revised: 07/01/2019] [Accepted: 07/01/2019] [Indexed: 05/22/2023]
Abstract
Native top-down mass spectrometry is a fast, robust biophysical technique that can provide molecular-scale information on the interaction between proteins or peptides and ligands, including metal cations. Here we have analyzed complexes of the full-length amyloid β (1-42) monomer with a range of (patho)physiologically relevant metal cations using native Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry and three different fragmentation methods-collision-induced dissociation, electron capture dissociation, and infrared multiphoton dissociation-all yielding consistent results. Amyloid β is of particular interest as its oligomerization and aggregation are major events in the etiology of Alzheimer's disease, and it is known that interactions between the peptide and bioavailable metal cations have the potential to significantly damage neurons. Those metals which exhibited the strongest binding to the peptide (Cu2+, Co2+, Ni2+) all shared a very similar binding region containing two of the histidine residues near the N-terminus (His6, His13). Notably, Fe3+ bound to the peptide only when stabilized toward hydrolysis, aggregation, and precipitation by a chelating ligand, binding in the region between Ser8 and Gly25. We also identified two additional binding regions near the flexible, hydrophobic C-terminus, where other metals (Mg2+, Ca2+, Mn2+, Na+, and K+) bound more weakly-one centered on Leu34, and one on Gly38. Unexpectedly, collisional activation of the complex formed between the peptide and [CoIII(NH3)6]3+ induced gas-phase reduction of the metal to CoII, allowing the peptide to fragment via radical-based dissociation pathways. This work demonstrates how native mass spectrometry can provide new insights into the interactions between amyloid β and metal cations.

Abstract
The aim of this mini review was to report the molybdenum compound intervention to control cancer disease. The intervention explains its roles and progress from inorganic molybdenum compounds via organomolybdenum complexes to its nanoparticles to control oesophageal cancer and breast cancer as case studies. Main contributions of molybdenum compounds as anticancer agents could be observed in their nanofibrous support with suitable physicochemical properties, combination therapy, and biosensors (biomarkers). Recent areas in anticancer drug design, which entail the uses of selected targets, were also surveyed and proposed.

Abstract
New anticancer platinum(II) compounds with distinctive modes of action are appealing alternatives to combat the drug resistance and improve the efficacy of clinically used platinum chemotherapy. Herein, we describe a rare example of an antitumor PtII complex targeting a tumor-associated protein, rather than DNA, under cellular conditions. Complex [(bis-NHC)Pt(bt)]PF6 (1 a; Hbt=1-(3-hydroxybenzo[b]thiophen-2-yl)ethanone) overcomes cisplatin resistance in cancer cells and displays significant tumor growth inhibition in mice with higher tolerable doses compared to cisplatin. The cellular Pt species shows little association with DNA, and localizes in the cytoplasm as revealed by nanoscale secondary ion mass spectrometry. An unbiased thermal proteome profiling experiment identified asparagine synthetase (ASNS) as a molecular target of 1 a. Accordingly, 1 a treatment reduced the cellular asparagine levels and inhibited cancer cell proliferation, which could be reversed by asparagine supplementation. A bis-NHC-ligated Pt species generated from the hydrolysis of 1 a forms adducts with thiols and appears to target an active-site cysteine of ASNS.

Abstract
We have designed for the first time a dual-functional luminescent probe and inhibitor of neuraminidase (NA), a key influenza target. The lead iridium(iii) complex exhibited enhanced inhibition against NA compared to the FDA-approved antiviral drug, oseltamivir, and could detect NA even in the presence of an autofluorescent background.

Abstract
The most widely used anticancer drugs are platinum complexes, but complexes of other transition metals also show promise and may widen the spectrum of activity, reduce side-effects, and overcome resistance. The latter include organo-iridium(iii) 'piano-stool' complexes. To understand their mechanism of action, it is important to discover how they bind to biomolecules and how binding is affected by functionalisation of the ligands bound to iridium. We have characterised, by MS and MS/MS techniques, unusual adducts from reactions between 3 novel iridium(iii) anti-cancer complexes each possessing reactive sites both at the metal (coordination by substitution of a labile chlorido ligand) and on the ligand (covalent bond formation involving imine formation by one or two aldehyde functions). Peptide modification by the metal complex had a drastic effect on both Collisonally Activated Dissociation (CAD) and Electron Capture Dissociation (ECD) MS/MS behaviour, tuning requirements, and fragmentation channels. CAD MS/MS was effective only when studying the covalent condensation products. ECD MS/MS, although hindered by electron-quenching at the Iridium complex site, was suitable for studying many of the species observed, locating the modification sites, and often identifying them to within a single amino acid residue.
